Minnesota Republican candidate
for governor tells Breitbart radio he would seek to end refugee resettlement in
the state if elected, by Ann Corcoran, 9/1/18.
And,
I was surprised to see that in a recent poll he is only five points behind the
Democrat candidate for governor.
Minnesotans
who want to save their state need to get to work!
For
inspiration, re-visit this 2015 post where Minnesota’s present Democrat Governor
told Minnesotans to leave the state if they didn’t like the diversity he was
welcoming!
By
the way, in every state and district, all of you concerned about immigration
should make sure that someone is at Democrat campaign stops from now until
November to bring up the question of refugee resettlement, the border wall,
sanctuary cities, migrant crimes etc. Get the candidate on the record!
This is your best chance this year to get YOUR views out past the
mainstream media filter!

Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart: Minnesota
GOP Gubernatorial Nominee: Time to End Refugee Resettlement in State
Minnesota Republican gubernatorial nominee Jeff Johnson says it is time
to end the federal government’s refugee resettlement program in the state.
Johnson
told Breitbart News’s deputy Washington political editor Amanda House on Sirius
XM’s Breitbart News Sunday that if elected he will go to Washington, D.C. and
deliver that message to the Trump administration officials in charge of the
Refugee Admissions Program.
“Here,
we have the issue of becoming a sanctuary state or not. My Democrat opponent
actually has signed on to becoming a sanctuary state, which I think is
absolutely insane,” Johnson said.
“We
also have a refugee issue in Minnesota. We have been more generous and accepted
more refugees than any other state in the country. Not by a little, but by a
lot,” he added.
“What
I have called for is that we end our participation in that [federal refugee
resettlement] program, at least until we get answers to the questions of cost,
and start addressing the issue of whether the refugees that are here are
succeeding or not, because many of them aren’t. The unemployment rate is
extremely high among the Somali population in Minnesota,” Johnson said.
“If you include state and federal spending, [the cost of supporting
refugees is] in the hundreds of millions of dollars. We don’t know what the
number is though, because the Legislative Auditor, which is a very well
respected non-partisan office, was charged with trying to figure that out, and
the answer they came back with was, well no one keeps track of that and no one
asks the right questions,” he added.
On
this issue of getting at the costs of refugee resettlement.
Every time someone who
wants to restrict refugees asks, he or she is told there simply is no good data
on what refugees cost the taxpayer.
Then I want to know how the Open Borders gang, like
Welcoming America!, comes up with studies that say unequivocally that refugees
BENEFIT the economy. Where are they getting their numbers? Or are they
just not trying to find out the true costs?
Leahy
continues: “There is an existing lawsuit that Tennessee has gotten involved
with. Would you be willing to jump on board that lawsuit?” House asked. “Absolutely
I would consider that,” Johnson responded.
Leahy
then tells readers about two big issues for Minnesota involving refugees:
health issues especially high rates of TB, and the issue of MN producing
jihadists!
The latest poll shows Johnson trails his Democrat rival in the
governor’s race, Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN-01) by five points, 46 percent to 41
percent.

I’ve
written literally hundreds of posts on Minnesota over the last 11 years and
have been to the state twice to see for myself. Go here for
